PROFESSOR RILEY.


Charles v. Riley, the Chief Entomolo.
gist of the United States, was invited to
address the meeting, and said: "The
grange growers of Southern Calfornia
have suffered very much by lack of proper
Knowledge. In the East we have learned
to conquer the scale bugs. In Florida
the orange growers keep abreast of our
discoveries, and are not afraid of the
worst species Of the scale bug. We use
kerosene emulsions, and that eradicates
the bugs completely" The professor
gave very interesting and instructive
account OF the ravages of the different
pests and the many remedies that had
been used to destroy them. He favored
kerosene emnlsions. We suffer more
from the imported bugs than the domes-
tic, and there ought to be an organiza.
tion that would keep out imported stock
till it had been quarantined and inspect
cd. Kero enc has injured the trees here
only because it has been applied too
freely. In applying, the main point is
"a spray the trees 50 finely that it will
stay in globul.s under and on the top OF
the leaves of the tree. Three applica.
tions are generally sufficient, and the
best time to make the applications is in
the early and late part of the day. H.
believed in judicious pruning, because
most trees would overbear and the fruit
become small. President Hamilton said
that Professor Coquilett had successfully
used gas on his trees in the Sauti. Ana
valley, and in a number OF instances not
q single bug was afterwards discovered.
j. A. Malthewson read an interesting
essay on apricot culture. J. w. Salee
endorsed the plan to plant the apricot
on peach root. D. Edison Smith said
that his experience in pruning led him
to favor the low pruning of the apricot
tree.

The Arid Zone Narrowing.

In letter from Salina. Kansas, to the
New York Sun, Frank Wilkesou saws:
The arid zone, the land that has so long
resisted the encroachment of settlers.
! and whose only crop for many years was
bankrupts, is now being rapidly settled.
During the past year almost 200, 900 peo-
peopc settled on that portion Of it which
I lies in Kansas The rain belt has moved
westward far beyond the tooth meridian,
or, to be more accurate, new rain belt
has been created. For thirteen wears.
from 1870 to 1888, men entered the arid
zone, built houses, plowed the prairie
sod, sowed gram, and attempted to farm.
They lost heir money, their time, and,
IN many cases, their courage. Many Of
these men returned East to live on their
wives relatives. Other men took the
abandoned houses and arid farms, and in
time these, too, became bankrupt and re-
turned to the Last or pushed westward
to the highlands. All men If intelli-
gence knew that the arid zone was unfit
for agricultural purposes. They knew
that the physical CONFORMATION Of the
land lying west Of the arid belt. and
which controls its climate, could not be
changed. The settlers, eager for land
and homes, continued to -FOUR into the
dry region. AT last they have been re-
warded. They have secured three con-
secttive crops Of gran andtthe fourth
crop Of wheat is in sight. Somuch rain
now falls in the eastern portion of what
was once the arid belt that it is nolonger
fit for winter range for cattle. II 81
ficient rain falls to wash the nutriment
out of thegrass, then there is sufficient
rainfall to grow wheat to perfect matu-
rity.
During the three years last past the
winter wheat producing belt has been
pushed westward almost 800 miles. At
least 25, 900, COO acres have been added
to the area of the American winter wheat
growing field. The land is virgin. It
produces No. 2 soft winter wheat. It
now looks as thou III the arid rome was to
be the great winter wheat producing re-
gion.

Horseshoes Versus Naked Hoofs.

There have always been two theories
upon the shoeing Of horses. One Il that
they ought to be shod, and the other.
supported by what we will call the Bare
footed Brigade, is that they should 90
without shoes. The Shoers are much the
more numerous. but the Barefoots are.
if anything, more cocksure that they are
right. We have always been inclined
70 approve Of shoes, not for weak and
defective feet only, but as the proper APP
pliances for all feet, however good, and
as practically indispensable for horses
that are liable to be called on for high
rate of speed. When it comes to pound
ing, there must be something to pound
with more substantial than the naked
hoof.
We have often seen instances OF horses
belonging to quiet country families going
shoeless with perfect comfort and safety,
but the performance of Governor Stan
ford's trotting colt Antevolo, flyer OF
the first rank, without shoes, maintains
the arguments for bare feet in the high
estprominence. AntcVolo has been trot-
ting now for several years without shoes,
or with tips only. He made record of
2:19a in September, 1885, and in the
great race recently won by Harry Wilkes,
Anteyolo was timed in each Of the four
heats with this splendid result 2.l6.
2:17, 2:173, 2:1S4. 1t must hive been
good, hard;sh track to allow Harry
Wilkes to beat that, and trot half mile
in | oil besides; but it seems that the
barefooted horses hoofs were fit to pound
about as hard and fast in the fourth heat
as in the first. It was very noticeable
performance, and we'll worthy the care
full consideration of all horse-loving
economists. Men York Sun

Tree Kinds Of subscribers.

The subscriber who takes paper year

for it refuses, and says he never did like
the paper anyhow and never read it. Is.
says an exchange, like theman who buys
his groceries for years, never paying
cent, and then refuses to settle because
the sugar had sand IN it, and the tea was
not as good as be could get somewhere
else, and he never used particle OF the
soap he had bought. He never could
get ahead Of the grocer like that. It IS
only the innocent printer that can be
gulled SO easily.
The second kind Of subscriber is the
one who reads the paper and then pays
for it. He islike the man who buys an
overcoat, wears it out, and then pays for
it. re is 10, 600 times better than the
first kind, but heis bad enough.
The third kind is the man after the
printers own heart. He pays in advance
for his paper and is happy He is the
man who pays cash for his groceries,
medicines, hardware, jcwelry, dry goods.

over the body Of any animal that was
served up, but that they should eat Of
the part that was uppermost. On this
q casion fresh water fish was brought
up, garnished with various sauces, and
the Ambassador, who knew nothing Of
the customs Of the country, unfortunately
turned the fish over, upon which the
courtiers. filed with Indignation. arose.

The Emperor answered, turning I'd
Halton, and signing:
cannot refuse the request Of my
Lords, but ask Of me any other boon but
that OF your life, and will grant it
Halton reflected for q moment, and
then said:
II will only nsk Of you small favor
to grant, most gracious sovereign, that
all those who saw me turn the fish over
may have their eyes put out. Y
The Emperor, astonishcd at the strange
ness Of this request, vowed that he had
not seen it done, and had only pro-
nounced the word Of others
The Empress also was perfectly posi-
tive that she had seen nothing Of it
and the mobiles, one after another, made
the same declaration. The result was
that as no one had seen the offense be
could not be punished for it.

A Simple Cure FOR Croup.

Mrs G. j. c., Cincinnati, Ohio, says
In the household column of the Free
PSess. Mothers with young children
will do well to remember that one-third
Of teaspoouful of powdered alum mixed
with double the quantity Of sugar will
give almost instant relief in Group. It
is also good for hard cold, as the
smallest children take it without trouble,
and it enables them to eject from the
little stomach what cannot be raised in
any other way, and relief follows as
natural consequence. II, when that
first makes its appearance, when the
young mother perceiyes the difficulty of
breathing, or the rafting, gurgling
sound in the throat, which is the sure
forerunner of Group, if then this simple
remedy were promptly administered and
repeated as often as there was need, there
are few cases, i think, that might not be
cured The great trouble is that many
young mothers do not know what to do,
and if physician is not within handy
reach the little one is often past human
aid before help can come.

ing good word for 'sBrita's Sage Tea

and have recipe similar to hers, the
only difference being that we always
drop in a few pieces of old iron into the
tea while sleeping and remove them
when it is cold. One gentleman acluaint
ance Of mine, who was quite young and
yet nearly bald, tried it with excellent
results, and being something OF joker
attributed his suceeSa tn the fant that he
had dropped an old horseshoe that he
had found into the tea to consolidate his
good luck, 2 as it were; but as another
gentleman tried il with equally good
success, who only dropped in few old
nails and broken bits of iron, we are com
PEELED to think that the virtue lay not
so much in the boilcd-down horseshoe as
In the iron itself, which is said to be
good for the scalp. It may not prove
effective In every case, but SO simple
remedy is well worth trying by those
who are unfortunate enough to lose their
hair early in life.

Palmerston Got the Best Of Ii.

The following anecdote is related of
Lord Palmerston He was travelling
forth on one occasion, and purchased
third-class ticket. lit his cigar and en-
tered the coach. One OF the employees
called the attention Of the manager to
the fact, remarking What shall we.
do if Lord Palmerton rides third class?
Every one will follow suit, and no first
or second class tickets will be sold. y
The managers Thought q moment, then
took two thirdSclass tickets, handed
them to two chimney sweeps standing
on the platform and ushersd them into
the coach where Palmerston sat. Pal.
merston looked up, and Immediately
comprehended the position and the
motive. Arriving at the next sta
tion, he purchased two first-class
tickets, took the sweeps out and ushered
them into the first class coach. The re-
taliation was appreciated on the part Of
the railroad managers.

Sleep a Preventive Of Headache.

A scientific writer says: ssSleep, if

an attack of nervous headache. If the
subjects Of such headaches will watch
the symptoms Of its coming, they will
notice that-it begins with feeling Of
WEAKNESS or heayiness. This is the time
sleep of an hour, or even two, as nature
guides, will effectually prevent the head
ache. If not taken just then, it will be
too late, for, after the attack is fairly
under way, it is impossible to get sleep
till far into the night, perhaps. 1t is so
common in these days for doctors to for
bid having their patients walked to take.
